nightwheel - I thought you were needing some funds to finish a project, so why spend this money on a couple of games, that in a few months time will be cheap games in the bargain bin; instead of using the funds to finish your project??

Yea I know. I might sell some things to get more cash again. Besides my room needs to be cleaned anyways. I'm also planning making a Ebay investment with Super Smash Bros Brawl. Then buy the game again to keep after the ebay hype.

Not really a garage sale, as Michigan's sub-zero temperatures aren't exactly great for stainding outside and marketing old crap, but I got a Dell Optiplex G110 from Craigslist. It's got a PIII 800MHz processor, 258 megs of RAM extendable up to 512, and a 30 gig harddrive. All for $15!

MAKE IT A PORTABLE! or is it already a laptop? MAKE IT A SMALLER LAPTOP! or just make it a dedicated emulator computer.

Bump Time!

Todays Score:

Toshiba Satlite Pro 460CDT

Gateway Pentium 1 Tower with Windows 98

Dell Dimesion 2400 with a Pentium 4 processor, 256MB of ram, DVD-ROM/CD-ROM drive, and Windows XP installed. Needs a new PSU becuase it's curent one is dead.

2 Pinters, A very nice and somewhat new Lexmark Z611 which is hooked up to my computer right now. But it needs ink. And some newer HP Printer.

3 key boards. One of which is very nice because it has the Email, Internet, Media Player control buttons. Because of that, I have it hooked up to my compter now too. (heck I'm typing up this post with it)

And a bunch of CD-ROM's. Like website makers, games, and educational stuff like Encarta and Britanica. There was even a Windows 95 install disk.

And I got all of this for free. Not a bad huh.

You might need a Dell PSU. Dell went through a phase where they used the ATX power connector, but had it wired different. So if it has the wanky pinout, you'll need a pretty much identical PSU.

Just so you know, that disc labeled "Windows 95 Companion" does not contain the actual Windows 95. It just has extra junk on it. (We have one of those discs too.)

Ok nevermind that. From what I read and pic i saw, This dell doesn't have the wonky pinout.
